I misread and got excited for a second thinking this meant you could install Chrome-only extensions in Firefox. Turns out it's just for migrating extension settings and such between browsers.

People have created solutions to do just that, but they seem to be hacky unofficial work-arounds, and not sure if they're still working. Last time I tested was a few years ago when it worked so-so

Still good for people to migrate from Chrome to Firefox (the superior browser)

We may see an increase of users when Google makes adblockers worthless

This is great! As soon as Manifest v3 rolls around then we can have an open door for those disgruntled Chrome users to enter seamlessly.
